Active clinical trials for "Cystic Fibrosis"

This study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of lumacaftor (LUM) and ivacaftor (IVA) in participants 1 to less than 2 years of age with cystic fibrosis (CF), homozygous for F508del (F/F).

A major factor in the respiratory health of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is acquisition of chronic Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa infections. The infection rate with P. aeruginosa increases with age and by age 18 years, 80% of patients with CF in the U.S. are infected. Liposomal amikacin for inhalation (LAI; Arikayce™) is a sterile aqueous liposomal suspension consisting of amikacin sulfate encapsulated in liposomes. This formulation of amikacin maximizes the achievable dose and delivery to the lungs of infected patients when delivered via a nebulizer. Because liposome particles are small enough to penetrate and diffuse through sputum into the bacterial biofilm, they deposit drug close to the bacterial colonies (Meers, et al., 2008) (Clancy, et al., 2013), thus improving the bioavailability of amikacin at the infection site. The clinically achievable doses of amikacin in the LAI formulation can effectively increase the half-life of the drug in the lungs, and decrease the potential for systemic toxicity. LAI offers several advantages over current therapies in treating patients with CF with chronic infection caused by P. aeruginosa.

At least 6 cystic fibrosis patients with the S1251N mutation will be treated for 4 weeks, consisting of two consecutive treatment periods of two weeks evaluating one dose of GLPG1837 each. After the treatment period, there is a 7-10 days follow-up period. During the course of the study, subjects will be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability). Changes in sweat chloride will be assessed as biomarker from baseline onwards, and changes in pulmonary function (efficacy) will be explored throughout the study. The amount of GLPG1837 present in the blood (pharmacokinetics) will also be determined.

The primary purpose of study is to evaluate the treatment effect of tezacaftor in combination with ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) on chest imaging endpoints using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) at Week 72, and to evaluate the safety of TEZ/IVA through Week 72.

It is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of Tigerase® compared Pulmozyme® in patients with Cystic Fibrosis

This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetic changes during pregnancy, postpartum, and in breast milk in cystic fibrosis patients receiving a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CTFR) modulator, including Elexacaftor, Tezacaftor, Ivacaftor, or Lumacaftor.

This study will examine the effects of a novel ketone monester supplement on patients with cystic fibrosis experiencing an acute pulmonary exacerbation requiring hospitalization. Patients will undergo standard testing along with blood sampling to examine concentrations of inflammatory markers. Patients will then receive the ketone supplement for 5 days followed by post-testing to examine changes in pulmonary function and inflammatory markers

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of brensocatib in participants with cystic fibrosis following once daily oral administration of study drug and to evaluate the safety of brensocatib compared to placebo in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) over the 4-week treatment period.

This study compare an usual training program (in continuous endurance) with an ITHI program over a period of 3 weeks, in France. The aim is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this type of program in CF adults, and also more specifically, in subgroups: patients divided according to the severity of their FEV1 ; patients treated with modulating CFTR canal therapy ; diabetic patients on insulin ; undernourished patients.

The effect of comprehensive respiratory physiotherapy applications on respiratory function, functional capacity and peripheral muscle strength in children with cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis will be compared.
